aims & objectives
The aim of The Stour Valley Circuit is to provide an effective Christian Witness to and advance the Kingdom of God. We seek to achieve this by targeting a number of objectives that include:
- Promoting a common policy of growth and responsible giving, whilst supporting the individual Churches in recognising and realising their own mission to their local community
- Encouraging greater variety and participation in Worship, to include all ages in the Church Family
- seeking closer cooperation between churches in a particular area
- We would also seek closer ecumenical cooperation with our neighbouring Christian Communities
- Expanding on existing Circuit gatherings to encourage and promote a sense of family within the Circuit
- Actively, through prayer and practical means, supporting the wider work of the Methodist Church, at Home and Overseas
- Developing, within the above, an understanding of our role as Christian communities living in a multi-racial and multi-faith society.
